Reviews / Votes
'an original and timely intervention in the growing filed of Bluestocking studies, while retaining the substance and integrity of a lasting contribution to literary scholarship... Pohl is doing a great service by making these letters accessible beyond the realm of the specialist archives in which the original manuscripts are kept.' Women's Writing '[a] welcome edition.'
